Resumo
Em Espanha não existem trabalhos atualizados sobre o impacto da contaminação atmosférica na mortalidade diária a nível provincial. Recentemente foram publicados três artigos relativos ao impacto dos níveis de PM10, NO2 e O3 sobre a mortalidade diária nas 52 capitais de província espanholas, contudo não existe uma síntese que englobe o efeito conjunto destes contaminantes.
O objetivo deste trabalho é, portanto, explicar a metodologia conjunta seguida por estes estudos e quais os principais resultados obtidos, assim como, as limitações e as implicações deste tipo de publicações na saúda república. O principal resultado é que a mortalidade por todas as causas atribuível à contaminação atmosférica química em Espanha relaciona-se com 9500 mortes/ano. Este valor representa um quinto da mortalidade devida ao tabaco e é 8 vezes superior à mortalidade rodoviária. Ou seja, 3% da mortalidade ocorrida em Espanha estaria relacionada com os efeitos a curto prazo da contaminação atmosférica química, pelo que a articulação de planos de ação estruturais para reduzir os níveis de contaminação química nas grandes cidades é essencial. No caso particular do ozono a determinação de um valor limite a nível provincial poderia servir para a articulação de planos de prevenção similares aos já existentes para o caso do calor.
